Edward Snowden held secret talks with Joseph Gordon-Levitt for actor’s biopic role

Actors generally talk to the people they play in biographical movies. But what if you’re researching a high-profile fugitive? It would seem it’s still possible. Joseph Gordon-Levitt admitted to holding a secret four-hour meeting with NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden in Russia. The meeting was so secret that Gordon-Levitt was advised to not record the conversation and avoid acknowledging the talks even happened for a while. According to the actor, he believes Snowden acted out of genuine concern that mass surveillance in America was going too far. Gordon-Levitt will be playing Snowden in the upcoming biopic helmed by Oliver Stone.

Video: Brussels Apple Store opening shows preview of new look and feel coming to retail

There's a new Apple Store in Brussels, Belgium and it's contained in an ultramodern building. What's interesting about this video, aside from the fact that lining up for an Apple Store opening is still very much a thing, is the new design and layout of the store which is pioneering some new retail features.

It is said that Apple's Director of Design, Jony Ive, is behind the new look. We see tree-lined benches, motion activated display areas, Beats headphone-specific displays and overall a clean yet practical arrangement for Apple's growing plethora of products.
